MediaCollection.getStringCollectionByQuery

The getStringCollectionByQuery method retrieves a StringCollection object containing all strings that match the query conditions.

Syntax

  

Parameters

attribute

String containing the attribute name.

query

Query object.

mediaType

String containing the media type. Must contain one of the following values: "audio", "video", "photo", "playlist", or "other".

sortAttribute

String containing the attribute name used for sorting. An empty string ("") means no sorting is applied.

sortAscending

Boolean, true indicating that the StringCollection must be sorted in ascending order.

Return Values

This method returns a StringCollection object.

Remarks

Compound queries using Query are not case sensitive.

When the compound query specified by the query parameter contains a condition built on the MediaType attribute, that condition is ignored. The value for the mediaType parameter is always used. For example, if the compound query contains the condition "MediaType Equals audio" and the value for the mediaType parameter is "video", the resulting playlist will contain only video items.

Requirements

Version: Windows Media Player 11.

Library: Use wmp.dll.
